Welcome to this special SAFARI edition of The Wandering Book Collector with host Michelle Jana Chan. This podcast is a series of conversations with writers exploring what's informed their books and their lives around themes of movement, memory, sense of place, borders, identity, belonging and home.
In this edition, I speak with Geoffrey Kent to discuss his memoir, Safari, a book which opens in Nairobi, Kenya, and follows him on his travels all over the world… from the Nile to Nepal, Brazil to Botswana, Papua New Guinea to the Polar regions, as he built up his business Abercrombie & Kent, the travel company renowned for its meticulous planning, taking travellers into hard-to-reach wildernesses and cultures.
